I was looking for a Hunger Games thread and couldn't find one anywhere on this forum. are there any fellow tributes out there? Anyone just a fan? Anyone write HG fanfic? I know I've seen a couple around here. If you have one, please PM me and I'll put up a list.

Hi Ish. I really enjoyed the first book and found it a great stand alone story. I trailed off and lost interest in the first third of Catching Fire. I may listen on to the second two on audio.

I found Katnis to be a very engaging character. The book had a fantastic set up, great action, and excellent character developement. I think one of the reasons I liked it so much was the undeniable emotional core. Each character was realized, even the side characters. The author's narrative stayle would not let me dismiss anyone much less turn away from the intesity of the action once the Games began.

I loved Hunger Games! (And am rather impatient for the movie!) It's surplanted my previous dystopian favourites in litrature. It's not overly sentimental, which I like, but you can't deny the emotional depth either. Great action, great characters, all around good story.

...although I'm a terrible fan, and haven't yet psyched myself enough to ready Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Last time I attempted to read the trilogy consecutively, I read Hunger Games, then somehow ended up starting a re-read of my X-Wing books... Oops. Know some of the basics as to the plot in the last 2 books, but haven't completed them...

I have only read a couple of Hunger Games vigs really, though I did dabble in a brief Peeta introspective for my shuffle challenge here.

I was hanging out with our old friend AnakinsFavorite and she told me I could borrow the first two books, but that she had to have them back in a couple of days. I stayed up all night reading one and read Catching Fire in a slightly unusual location. I got Mockingjay for Christmas a couple of months later. I've only written one fic because while I'm very good at macabre, I feel like I can't get into the empathy thing very well.

In other news, I'll be putting up draft 1 of the index when I'm more coherent.

I read the whole trilogy within a week when the first movie came out because I wondered what all the fuss was about. [voice=Effie] I just love that! [/voice] My muse hasn't come up with anything yet. Emphasis on yet.
